Stock Movers

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Uber Technologies (UBER) gave a weak profit outlook and promoted an outspoken driverless-vehicle bull to be its new chief financial officer, signaling further investment in a closely watched area of the ride-hailing company’s business. The executive, Balaji Krishnamurthy, has been with Uber for more than six years and is currently vice president of strategic finance and investor relations. He will replace current CFO Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah, who is leaving for another opportunity after less than three years at the company, according to a regulatory filing published Wednesday. The outgoing CFO will step down from his post on Feb. 16 and stay on as a senior finance adviser through July 1, the filing said.
- Eli Lilly & Co (LLY) provided an upbeat sales forecast for the year Wednesday as strong demand for its weight loss drug cemented its position at the top of the obesity market.The guidance was a sharp contrast to rival Novo Nordisk A/S, which warned investors Tuesday that its sales could drop as much as 13% this year on intensifying price competition in the weight loss market. Lilly, on the other hand, expects its sales to grow as much as 27% this year.
- Chipotle Mexican Grill’s (CMG) doldrums are set to extend into 2026, with the burrito chain offering a full year-sales target that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations.Sales at established locations are expected to be “about flat” this year, Chipotle said in a statement Tuesday. That’s below the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg and follows a decline in comparable sales in 2025 — the first time that’s happened since Chipotle became a public company.
